Awakening the Healing Power Within

Listen to Podcast

This morning, I felt drawn to my breath. I moved gently through some of my favorite kriyas—soft pulses at the navel, alternate nostril breathing, and the sweet inner resonance of Bee Breath. Afterward, I felt called to reach for a book from The Tree… and this is the passage that greeted me.

It speaks of the sacred meeting of prana and apana, the upward and downward flows of energy within us, and how through conscious breath and subtle practice, these polarities unite—sparking a radiant fire at the solar plexus. It’s a beautiful affirmation of everything I felt pulsing in my own body this morning.

In this episode, I share these threads: the practices, the passage, and the mystery that connects them. May it inspire your own breath and remembrance.

You might even begin to see Prana and Apana as inner companions or lovers:

  • Prana whispers “Come, rise with me!”

  • Apana answers “Only if you let go and ground through me.”

Their sacred union is what sustains both spiritual evolution and physical well-being.
